The New and improved Oregon 2020/2021 Ski Season Thread

My first assumption would be faulty/expensive hardware or software. They're too cheap to implement it.

I used it mainly to look up vertical for the day. I was interested this last week because my pass was old and faulty and I had it replaced mid trip so I wanted to look up not only my vert but if it showed days left on my pass so I know it transferred correctly.

Jeff Flood was down today. So I can see that. When I looked at the lift status and saw that I was glad I stayed home.

Today too. Getting jobs done around the house now that the snow has melted.

Welp, my first MtB weekend day this season officially sucked. Between the freezing fog, the crusty snow and the lines, units of Fun= 0. Two laps and out. Oh well

[TBS]

Will there be Spring skiing? Asking for a friend.

Magic 8 Ball sez yes

[jonesy]

Yep Spring skiing.....

Well, it WAS more crowded due to Flood being down, BUT the snow was amazing... Got early tracks on Molly’s proper, first tracks in the ridge between Molly/Pucci, 3rds on Cut Off. Spraypaint/Paintbrush off Norman’s was also good but visibility was tough due to fog, snow and flat light. Closed the day off w/ 1st tracks on a small line off Molly’s chair and some more lines through the trees on the ridge above Pucci. Waiting in the lift lines sucked, there was a lot of non-compliance w/ masks, which was driving the staff nuts (me too).

i just got a text from a friend who said MHX hasn’t loaded yet at 9.30a
Yesterday all lifts were running on diesel & MHX loaded late to start the day

E & I will be up tomorrow to take our chances w/ the temps/snow

On Saturday?

If so, no... It was on time.

Worst part about Saturday's diesel fest was no cell reception in the parking lot (guess they must have a repeater that needs electricity? Idfk).

Oh and my hero 8 won't stay on for some reason.

A morning of moderate winds, poor viz, but nice soft chop and wind drifted snow at the Doo turned into a day of you-better-have-Goretex-and-a-goggle-squeegee.

Oh well, it was a damn nice cycle while it lasted. At least the drive home will be cake ...

[Toadman]

^^^yup, management decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. You can use a geolocation app to do the same thing
There were a bunch that would do nothing but lap Tbird and call in to bitch about missed laps
If you’re all OCD about vert you’re doing it wrong

In other news I scored a MtB parking pass this AM. 23, Snowing and rhime. Worse at the Doo. Worse tomorrow
It’s tough out here in the west

Vibes!

No skiing for me today. I tomahawked off a cornice yesterday. Okay, it was more like a wind drift. Head first. Nothing like the sound our your neck going snap, crackle, pop! Luckily I didn't land on anything important.

My god. It’s like all my dreams wrapped into one. If you could get a vacuum in there...raaawwerrrr!!!

Damn! Happy you aren’t at the hospital. Heal up quick
With a plate and four screws holding c6 & C7 vertebrae together due to many episodes of rapid deceleration, I definitely understand the snap, crackle and pop part.

Nice pics fortrees. How’s your wife doing after the knee surgery?

Found out just as the trollers were setting up the signs that Flod wasn't going to go. Snow just kept coming.

Stoke!

I tomahawked

Oof, ouch, man...I hope you heal up taller than ever!

helloo

[thefortrees]

TBS - She’s doing well, thanks for asking. Laying on the couch all day for now and lots of icing. PT starts this week!

From what I’ve been able to gather, it sounds like a tree came down and hit the wheelhouse at the bottom... not sure how bad things are or how long it’s gonna take to resolve.

Just sore and stiff. Mostly the lower back which got torqued hard when my left ski tip dove under. Thank god for correct binding release settings! Otherwise I would probably be complaining about a torn knee ligament.

Rode the lift yesterday with a Seattle resident who asked if Summit lift every ran. I told him it's just there so that Bachelor can claim more skiable acres.

Glad you are OK
I swear by this stuff, in conjunction with Magic Number CBD tonics, for the aftermath of crashes

Asian martial artists use it. It was also standard issue in the personal med kits of the Viet Cong and NVA.

Did your chairmate buy your reasoning?

TBD - She’s doing well, thanks for asking. Laying on the couch all day for now and lots of icing. PT starts this week!

I hope lots of moving, bending knee too. Can't keep it still. I did self PT for the first 2.5 weeks until my follow up with surgeon

Get well soon

He just laughed. I will hopefully repay him later this week and get a lap or two out Southback way if chair 6 be running at Xtal later this week. (And my back cooperates.)

Yep Spring skiing.....

Is it wrong to thank ladies when you see them skiing in stretch pants?
Asking for a friend

[jonesy]

Only if said ladies are not accompanied by a large male.

[k2skier112]

HRM locked up in ice again?! In 42 years of skiing MHM I can't remember the last time HRM was so iced over it couldn't run...now twice in one year, wow.
